...tea ranks with abdug, a yoghurt drink, as Persia's [Iran's] principal beverages. The samovar is an essential item in every Persian household.  Tea is taken in small, slender glasses and served with lumps of sugar.

The sugar can be conventional cube sugar or small 'cushions' of clear white toffee....
